I’m honored to be on the cover of Cut Out + Keep’s Snippets Magazine. They did a thoughtful interview with me about coolhunting, extreme body modifications, and my dream travel TV show. In the “superhero” interview, I also reveal how I find time to blog between all the madness.

In addition, Wantering blog named me their latest Trendsetter. “Find out more about her alternative style, Japanese fashion and her cat, Basil Farrow” in the article.

Such fun to model with John Skeleton (he’ll soon contribute a London Goth guide to this blog). We’re wearing local Gothic Lolita brand Spider.

    Fabulous set of photos! I love your crimped hair, and Kanae Hamatsuka give the pictures a wonderfully hallucinatory feel . . . Is the Elle magazine the same edition that appears in the UK?
